Master C++ Programming with Open-Source BooksFebruary 17, 2017(comments)
An idiot recommends learning C++ by starting with Boost and a book about Qt that's over a decade out of date, among other terrible wastes of paper.

In accordance with Federal law, the Rust Evangelism Strikeforce stages a sortie, but meets resistance.

An internet implements a phone toy so nerds have something to stare at while waiting for their jitney cabs. Hackernews sets about comparing a phone map to a first-person shooter.
